Vibraphonist Chuck Redd and Pianist John di Martino to Perform at November New Jersey Jazz Society Concert in Madison

(MADISON, NJ) -- In his review of vibraphonist Chuck Redd's 2019 Dalphine Records album, Groove City, Dan Bilawsky of AllAboutJazz wrote that "one of the standout moments comes in balladic form with (Billy Strayhorn's) 'A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing'. Redd and (John) di Martino, sans rhythm section, dim the lights, and capture the essence of beauty in less than three minutes. It's the type of performance that passes quickly yet hangs in the air. It's but one of many examples of how Chuck Redd lives atop and within a song."

Frank Hanavan: "Natural & Plus"

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
